Hi Marc, Personally, I don't think these are necessarily necessary since there is a "from format".
However, there is certainly an issue of convenience, so I'm not against it if there's a demand for it. I have one concern. float is imprecise, so I don't think it's suitable for this kind of use. For timestamps, 16 digits are used, which exceeds the guaranteed precision of 15 digits on non-IBM platforms. Regards.
